  • Title: [Epidermoid cysts of the spleen. Apropos of 2 cases].
    Author: Quilichini MA, Clot P, Viandier A, Gayet B, Douard MC, Vaquin G.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1984 Mar 01; 60(10):678-81. PubMed ID: 6322314.
    Abstract:
    The authors report two new cases of splenic epidermoid cyst. They stress the importance of sonography and the need for thorough examination of the surgical specimen for establishing the diagnosis. They also discuss several etiological hypotheses. Although uncommon, the possibility of an epidermoid cyst must always be considered once the echinococcal nature of the cyst has been ruled out, in all cases of splenic cysts in children or young adults.
